    So right about roots type. Mine stray in the beginning. Then when length comes, my roots stay with the locs. I just started my third journey, but my first set of micro locs. This is the best and most informative hair video I’ve seen on RUclips. Most just love to hear themselves speak. You shared and illustrated well. I love the elephant in the background.

    Instead of a bigger needle I just inserted a flat screwdriver into the needle eye and gently but firmly twisted it. That will widen the hole for your fatter locs. I also used wire cutters and trimmed the needle down so it was easier to grasp. Hope this helps you or anybody else.

    For the record, hair grows half an inch a month on average so you’re right on track

    Thank you for this video but can you tell me about the rotation, do you undo the last rotation before you do the new one? Because I’m new and I wanna make my own microlocs bcoz it cost a lot of I go to the professional.
